Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday said that date has been extended to get names of children of 15 years age registered in the blank column of Birth Register by December 31, this year. This would benefit only those children whose birth were registered 15 years ago or before.
The Health Minister said that to facilitate the people, all those children whose birth was registered 15 years ago or before, but due to some reasons the ‘Name’ column was left blank, now they have been provided with the facility to get their names registered in the blank column by December 31. Therefore, parents should get names of their wards registered within the given time limit so as to avoid any kind of inconvenience in future.
Vij said that according to the rules, name of children could be entered in the blank column free of cost for one year.
On the demand of people, the State Government has also provided the relaxation of getting the name of children registered which was pending for 15 years or more along with late fee, but after this period, name cannot be registered in the column as per rules.
